Frustration is a human emotion, and it almost inevitably shows up in every rider's journey. The question is what you do when it does.
In this episode, Olympic dressage medalist Laura Graves steps in as your coach and mentor, sharing the mindset that guides her when riding feels more hard than harmonious. This clip comes from her NF+ masterclass Laura Graves Troubleshoots Common Flatwork Woes and offers a rare look into how an elite rider thinks during the private moments of training, when there are no quick answers and no one else in the arena.
Laura reflects on learning to pause instead of pushing, and on the role curiosity plays when a horse doesn't respond as expected. She speaks about developing your own internal dialogue and giving both yourself and your horse the space to figure things out without judgment.
This episode is an invitation to ride with more awareness and patience, guided by one of the most thoughtful voices in the sport.
Listen in and discover what can change when you shift from frustration to curiosity.
